Answer:
64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water
Step-by-step explanation:
In these kinds of questions it is nice to find how muc of 1 thing there is for every ONE of another. so 8 tablespoons of sugar for 12 ouncesof water you can divide both sides by 8 or 12.
Dividing it by 8 gets 8/8 = 1 tablespoon of sugar for 12/8 = 1.5 ounces of water.
Dividing by 12 gets 8/12 = 2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 12/12 = 1 ounce of water.
Now you can take one or the other and multiply it to fit whichever you want to fit a ratio.
It asks what happens if you use 32 ounces of water, so lets use the ratio where we hae 1 ounce, then multiply everything by 32.
2/3 tablespoon of sugar for 1 ounce of water
Multiply by 32 and you get 32*(2/3) = 64/3 tablespoons of sugar for 32 ounces of water
X=4 is the answer to this
Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
Answer:
$230
Step-by-step explanation:
100%-20%=80%
80%=184
1%=184÷80=2.3
100%=2.3x100=$230
Hope this helps! Thanks.
